At Early Bird Education Group, we recognize that the growth and development of our teachers are essential to fostering the success and well-being of the children in our care. By providing access to Child Development Associate (CDA) certification and ongoing professional development, we empower our teachers with the knowledge, skills, and expertise needed to deliver exceptional education and support. A CDA certification not only enhances teachers' ability to meet the diverse needs of young learners but also deepens their understanding of child development, enabling them to create a nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. Our unwavering commitment to investing in our teachers’ education and professional growth reflects our belief that their development is the cornerstone of a positive, enriching, and transformative learning experience for every child.

Can I take my training through Continued Early Childhood Education?
Many courses on Continued Early Childhood Education are approved by Kentucky Early Care and Education Training Records Information System (ECE-TRIS) and may count toward your annual in-service clock hours for child care licensing requirements. Use the State Approval filter to find courses that are approved by KY ECE-TRIS.
Please note that while the CDA Credential course packages on Continued meet the requirements of the Council for Professional Recognition for the foundational training hours to apply for your initial CDA, the CDA Credential packages are not recognized by ECE-TRIS. For members who wish to take the state-approved component courses contained in the 120-hour credential package, there is a workbook available for each of the CDA Credential packages. Please contact our Customer Experience Team to provide you with the appropriate workbook for your chosen CDA setting.
If you are looking for courses to meet your state teacher licensing requirements, please refer to the Kentucky Department of Education for information on acceptable courses. Meanwhile, feel free to search our library for courses that may be helpful to your professional development.
